Battery pack LEDs
Item ID
Color
Description
1
Green
System Power LED. This LED glows steadily when the
system is powered up and 12 V system power is
available. This power supply is used to maintain the
battery charge and provide supplementary power to the
cache microcontroller.
2
Green
Auxiliary Power LED. This LED glows steadily when 3.3V
auxiliary voltage is detected. The auxiliary voltage is
used to preserve BBWC data and is available any time
that the system power cords are connected to a power
supply.
3
Amber
Battery Health LED. To interpret the illumination patterns
of this LED, see the following table.
4
Green
BBWC Status LED. To interpret the illumination patterns
of this LED, see the following table.
Server component identification 24
LED3 pattern
LED4 pattern
Interpretation
—
One blink every
two seconds
The system is powered down, and the cache contains data that has
not yet been written to the drives. Restore system power as soon as
possible to prevent data loss.
Data preservation time is extended any time that 3.3 V auxiliary
power is available, as indicated by LED 2. In the absence of
auxiliary power, battery power alone preserves the data. A fullycharged battery can normally preserve data for at least two days.
The battery lifetime also depends on the cache module size. For
further information, refer to the controller QuickSpecs on the HP
website (http://www.hp.com).
—
Double blink,
then pause
The cache microcontroller is waiting for the host controller to
communicate.
—
One blink per
second
The battery pack is below the minimum charge level and is being
charged. Features that require a battery (such as write cache,
capacity expansion, stripe size migration, and RAID migration) are
temporarily unavailable until charging is complete. The recharge
process takes between 15 minutes and two hours, depending on
the initial capacity of the battery.
—
Steady glow
The battery pack is fully charged, and posted write data is stored
in the cache.
—
Off
The battery pack is fully charged, and there is no posted write data
in the cache.
One blink per
second
One blink per
second
An alternating green and amber blink pattern indicates that the
cache microcontroller is executing from within its boot loader and
receiving new flash code from the host controller.
Steady glow
—
There is a short circuit across the battery terminals or within the
battery pack. BBWC features are disabled until the battery pack is
replaced. The life expectancy of a battery pack is typically more
than three years.
One blink per
second
—
There is an open circuit across the battery terminals or within the
battery pack. BBWC features are disabled until the battery pack is
replaced. The life expectancy of a battery pack is typically more
than three years.

Operations
Power up the server
To power up the server, press the Power On/Standby button.
Power down the server
WARNING: To reduce the risk of personal injury, electric shock, or damage to the
equipment, remove the power cord to remove power from the server. The front panel Power
On/Standby button does not completely shut off system power. Portions of the power supply
and some internal circuitry remain active until AC power is removed.
IMPORTANT: If installing a hot-plug device, it is not necessary to power down the server.
1.
Back up the server data.
2.
Shut down the operating system as directed by the operating system documentation.
NOTE: If the operating system automatically places the server in Standby mode, omit the next
step.
3.
Press the Power On/Standby button to place the server in Standby mode. When the server activates
Standby power mode, the system power LED changes to amber.
IMPORTANT: Pressing the UID button illuminates the blue UID LEDs on the front and rear
panels. In a rack environment, this feature facilitates locating a server when moving between
the front and rear of the rack.
4.
Disconnect the power cords.
The system is now without power.
Extend the server from the rack

Optimum environment
When installing the server, select a location that meets the environmental standards described in this
section.
Space and airflow requirements
To allow for servicing and adequate airflow, observe the following space and airflow requirements when
deciding where to install a rack:
•
Leave a minimum clearance of 63.5 cm (25 in) in front of the rack.
•
Leave a minimum clearance of 76.2 cm (30 in) behind the rack.
•
Leave a minimum clearance of 121.9 cm (48 in) from the back of the rack to the back of another
rack or row of racks.
HP servers draw in cool air through the front door and expel warm air through the rear door. Therefore,
the front and rear rack doors must be adequately ventilated to allow ambient room air to enter the
cabinet, and the rear door must be adequately ventilated to allow the warm air to escape from the
cabinet.
CAUTION: To prevent improper cooling and damage to the equipment, do not block the
ventilation openings.
When vertical space in the rack is not filled by a server or rack component, the gaps between the
components cause changes in airflow through the rack and across the servers. Cover all gaps with
blanking panels to maintain proper airflow.
CAUTION: Always use blanking panels to fill empty vertical spaces in the rack. This
arrangement ensures proper airflow. Using a rack without blanking panels results in improper
cooling that can lead to thermal damage.
The 9000 and 10000 Series Racks provide proper server cooling from flow-through perforations in the
front and rear doors that provide 64 percent open area for ventilation.
CAUTION: When using a Compaq branded 7000 Series rack, you must install the high
airflow rack door insert [P/N 327281-B21 (42U) or P/N 157847-B21 (22U)] to provide
proper front-to-back airflow and cooling.
CAUTION: If a third-party rack is used, observe the following additional requirements to
ensure adequate airflow and to prevent damage to the equipment:
• Front and rear doors—If the 42U rack includes closing front and rear doors, you must
allow 5,350 sq cm (830 sq in) of holes evenly distributed from top to bottom to permit
adequate airflow (equivalent to the required 64 percent open area for ventilation).
• Side—The clearance between the installed rack component and the side panels of the rack
must be a minimum of 7 cm (2.75 in).
Temperature requirements
To ensure continued safe and reliable equipment operation, install or position the system in a wellventilated, climate-controlled environment.
Setup
31
The maximum recommended ambient operating temperature (TMRA) for most server products is 35°C
(95°F). The temperature in the room where the rack is located must not exceed 35°C (95°F).
CAUTION: To reduce the risk of damage to the equipment when installing third-party options:
• Do not permit optional equipment to impede airflow around the server or to increase the
internal rack temperature beyond the maximum allowable limits.
• Do not exceed the manufacturer’s TMRA.
Power requirements
Installation of this equipment must comply with local and regional electrical regulations governing the
installation of information technology equipment by licensed electricians. This equipment is designed to
operate in installations covered by NFPA 70, 1999 Edition (National Electric Code) and NFPA-75, 1992
(code for Protection of Electronic Computer/Data Processing Equipment). For electrical power ratings on
options, refer to the product rating label or the user documentation supplied with that option.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of personal injury, fire, or damage to the equipment, do not
overload the AC supply branch circuit that provides power to the rack. Consult the electrical
authority having jurisdiction over wiring and installation requirements of your facility.
CAUTION: Protect the server from power fluctuations and temporary interruptions with a
regulating uninterruptible power supply (UPS). This device protects the hardware from
damage caused by power surges and voltage spikes and keeps the system in operation
during a power failure.
When installing more than one server, you may need to use additional power distribution devices to
safely provide power to all devices. Observe the following guidelines:
•
Balance the server power load between available AC supply branch circuits.
•
Do not allow the overall system AC current load to exceed 80 percent of the branch circuit AC
current rating.
•
Do not use common power outlet strips for this equipment.
•
Provide a separate electrical circuit for the server.
Electrical grounding requirements
The server must be grounded properly for proper operation and safety. In the United States, you must
install the equipment in accordance with NFPA 70, 1999 Edition (National Electric Code), Article 250,
as well as any local and regional building codes. In Canada, you must install the equipment in
accordance with Canadian Standards Association, CSA C22.1, Canadian Electrical Code. In all other
countries, you must install the equipment in accordance with any regional or national electrical wiring
codes, such as the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) Code 364, parts 1 through 7.
Furthermore, you must be sure that all power distribution devices used in the installation, such as branch
wiring and receptacles, are listed or certified grounding-type devices.
Because of the high ground-leakage currents associated with multiple servers connected to the same
power source, HP recommends the use of a PDU that is either permanently wired to the building’s branch
circuit or includes a nondetachable cord that is wired to an industrial-style plug. NEMA locking-style plugs
or those complying with IEC 60309 are considered suitable for this purpose. Using common power outlet
strips for the server is not recommended.

Introduction
If more than one option is being installed, read the installation instructions for all the hardware options
and identify similar steps to streamline the installation process.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of personal injury from hot surfaces, allow the drives and the
internal system components to cool before touching them.
CAUTION: To prevent damage to electrical components, properly ground the server before
beginning any installation procedure. Improper grounding can cause electrostatic discharge.
Review "Electrostatic Discharge (on page 110)" before installing hardware options into the server.
Processor options
The server supports only a four or eight processor configuration. Observe the following processor
installation guidelines:
•
In a four processor configuration, processors 1 through 4 must be located in the upper CPU drawer.
•
In an eight processor configuration processors 1 through 4 are located in the upper CPU drawer and
processors 5 through 8 are located in the lower CPU drawer.
Installing a processor
The processors and memory are stored in a module at the front of the server. Access to the processor
memory module is provided through the front panel, eliminating the need to extend the server from the
rack to install new or replace existing processors or upgrade the memory.
WARNING: Use caution when installing the processor memory module or removing the
processor memory module. The processor memory module is very heavy when fully
populated.
CAUTION: To help avoid damage to the processor and system board, do not install the
processor without using the processor installation tool.
CAUTION: To prevent possible server malfunction and damage to the equipment,
multiprocessor configurations must contain processors with the same part number.
IMPORTANT: If installing a processor with a faster speed, update the system ROM before
installing the processor.
IMPORTANT: When either optional I/O expansion board is installed in a two-processor
configuration, the second processor must be installed in socket 3 or 4. To install a processor,
see the server user guide.

Memory options
This server contains eight memory cartridge connectors in each processor memory drawer. Each memory
cartridge can contain eight DIMMs, for a total of 128 DIMMs, for a maximum memory configuration of 2
TB.
The server supports the following DIMM speeds:
•
Single- and dual-rank PC3-10600 (DDR-1333) DIMMs operating at 1066 MHz
•
Quad-rank PC3-8500 (DDR-1066) DIMMs operating at 1066 MHz
Depending on the processor model, the memory clock speed may be reduced to 1066 or 800 MHz.
DIMM support
The server supports the following DIMMs:
•
Single- and dual-rank PC3-10600 (DDR3-1333) DIMMs operating at 1066 MT/s
While single-rank DIMMs are supported, HP recommends dual-rank and quad-rank DIMMs since
they provide significant memory throughput and better memory protection (Online Spare memory
mode) over single-rank DIMMs.
•
Quad-rank PC3-8500 (DDR3-1066) DIMMs operating at 1066 MT/s
Hardware options installation
40
Single-, dual-, and quad-rank DIMMs
To understand and configure memory protection modes properly, an understanding of single-, dual-, and
quad-rank DIMMs is helpful. Some DIMM configuration requirements are based on these classifications.
A single-rank DIMM has one set of memory chips that is accessed while writing to or reading from the
memory. A dual-rank DIMM is similar to having two single-rank DIMMs on the same module, with only
one rank accessible at a time. A quad-rank DIMM is effectively two dual-rank DIMMs on the same
module. Only one rank is accessible at a time. The server memory control subsystem selects the proper
rank within the DIMM when writing to or reading from the DIMM.
Dual- and quad-rank DIMMs provide the greatest capacity with the existing memory technology. For
example, if current DRAM technology supports 2-GB single-rank DIMMs, a dual-rank DIMM would be 4GB and a quad-rank DIMM would be 8-GB.
Although only one data rank is accessed at any given time for each DIMM, optimized command and
address pipelining via various interleaving schemes enables the Intel® Xeon™ 7500-series processor
architecture to benefit from dual-rank and quad-rank DIMMs. A dual-rank DIMM performs significantly
better than its single-rank counterpart. A quad-rank DIMM provides further performance improvement even
at the same DIMM capacity.

DIMM installation guidelines
This server supports two memory cartridges per processor. Each memory cartridge can support up to eight
DIMMs. Eight memory cartridges provide a total of 128 DIMMs per system. When installing DIMMs in the
memory cartridge, observe the following minimum guidelines:
•
The minimum configuration is two DIMMs per cartridge. Running in Lockstep mode, such DIMM pairs
offer larger memory protection to provide increased memory fault resiliency.
•
DIMMs must be installed in quads with identical characteristics. When possible, for configuration
simplicity, HP recommends using DIMMs with identical part numbers throughout the system.
•
DIMM quads must be populated in sequence by letter designation. Install DIMM quad (1A, 8A in
both cartridges) first, followed by DIMM quad (3B, 6B in both cartridges), DIMM quad (2C, 7C in
both cartridges) and DIMM quad (4D, 5D in both cartridges).
•
To achieve maximum performance, balance DIMM quads by letter groupings across all memory
cartridges so that the (1A, 8A) pair is installed in all memory cartridges first, followed by the B-pair,
C-pair, and D-pair.
•
When installing mixed rank DIMMs in any cartridge, DIMMs with the highest number of ranks must
be installed in the white DIMM connector locations. This guarantees proper electrical signaling on
the DDR3 channel since DIMMs with higher rank counts present larger electrical loading on the
DDR3 channel and must be populated at the end point of the channel. For more information, see the
illustration below.
CAUTION: Failure to follow these guidelines may result in the inability to recognize memory,
memory errors, or reduced memory performance.
•
AMP modes Advanced ECC, Online Spare, and Mirrored Memory have further requirements
beyond the ones listed here. For additional memory configuration requirements, see the
corresponding AMP sections:

Memory cartridge population guidelines
This server contains eight memory cartridge slots in each processor memory drawer.
Observe the following guidelines:
•
Memory must be loaded in quads, with a pair of DIMMs in each memory cartridge for a
corresponding processor.
Upper processor memory board is shown on the left. Lower processor memory board is shown on the
right.
•
Memory is only accessible to the system if the associated processor is installed. Do not install
memory cartridges in cartridge slots without the corresponding processor installed.
•
Two DIMM populated memory cartridges are required per processor.
•
To maximize performance in multi-processor configurations, distribute the total memory capacity
evenly across all processors.
Memory subsystem architecture
The Intel® Xeon™ 7500 processor memory architecture is designed to take advantage of multiple stages
of memory interleaving to reduce latency and increase bandwidth.
Each Intel Xeon 7500 processor contains two memory controllers as shown in the illustration below. Each
memory controller has two SMI buses operating in Lockstep mode. Each SMI bus connects to a memory
buffer. The buffer converts SMI to DDR3 and expands the memory capacity of the system. Each buffer has
two DDR3 channels and can support up to four DIMMs for a total of eight DIMMs per cartridge.
•
Memory speed is not affected by number of DIMMs or ranks. All DIMMs run at the highest possible
speed for a given processor.
•
DDR3 memory speed is a function of the QPI bus speed supported by the processor:
o
Processors with a QPI speed of 6.4 GT/s run memory at 1066 MT/s.
o
Processors with a QPI speed of 5.6 GT/s run memory at 978 MT/s.
o
Processors with a QPI speed of 4.8 GT/s run memory at 800 MT/s.
Hardware options installation
43
•
Successive cache lines are interleaved between the DIMMs and the Lockstep SMI channels of the two
memory controllers in the processor such that adjacent cache lines reside on different memory
controllers, SMIs, DIMMs, and DIMM ranks for better performance. To take advantage of this
feature, DIMMs should be populated evenly between all SMI channels. If an SMI channel pair has
more DIMMs than others, the extra memory on that SMI channel pair does not benefit from the
interleaving mechanism across memory controllers.
Hemisphere mode
The Intel® Xeon™ 7500-series processor architecture incorporates Hemisphere mode, a high-performance
interleaving technology. Hemisphere mode combines the tracking resources of both memory controllers
within each processor for a more aggressive cache line pipelining.
Hemisphere mode is the only supported configuration, and is enabled in RBSU when processors in the
system have identical DIMM population behind both of their memory controllers. That is to say, all
populated memory cartridges are populated the same way.
•
Hemisphere mode should produce the best overall performance for a variety of applications.
•
To enable each processor to enter Hemisphere mode, both memory cartridges must be installed and
populated with equal memory capacities based on the DIMM installation guidelines (on page 42).
•
Greater performance is obtained when all cartridges are populated with either four or eight dual- or
quad-rank DIMMs.
•
The server supports Mirrored Memory mode while Hemisphere mode is enabled.
Memory performance optimization
The server supports 128 DIMMS across eight Multi-core processors (64 DIMMs across four multi-core
processors, in each processor memory drawer). While there are many DIMM population configurations
that can support any total memory size, optimal performance is achieved when populated DIMMs can
take advantage of the Intel® Xeon™ 7500-series processor architecture.
To achieve the best performance for a given memory processor configuration, observe the following
guidelines:
Hardware options installation
44
•
The largest contributor to maximum memory bandwidth performance is to use both memory
controllers inside the processor. To achieve maximum memory bandwidth performance, populate
both memory cartridges for each installed processor. This configuration is required for this server.
•
The second largest contributor to performance is to populate each DDR3 channel in each memory
cartridge. To achieve this, the minimum DIMM count per cartridge is four DIMMs installed in DIMM
pair locations A and B.
•
The next largest contributor to performance is the number of ranks per DIMM. Dual-rank DIMMs
perform significantly better than single-rank DIMMs. Quad-rank DIMMs offer a further performance
boost.
•
The best performance is obtained when all installed processors are enabled for Hemisphere mode.
Hemisphere mode is optimum when four or eight DIMMs are installed per cartridge. Hemisphere
mode can be achieved with two or six DIMMs per cartridge (2 cartridges per processor), but this
configuration is not optimal for Hemisphere mode. Hemisphere mode is required for this server.
•
Maximum throughput is achieved when all memory cartridges are fully populated with the maximum
number of eight quad-rank DIMMs per cartridge.
Plan the memory configurations using identical DIMMs to achieve the memory size target, taking into
account that 64- and 128-DIMM count configurations result in the highest performance. Using a fourprocessor configuration as an example, do the following:
•
If the initial memory target is 64 GB, populate a four-processor system with eight cartridges of four 2GB DIMMs each for a total of 32 DIMMs.
•
For 4-GB DIMMs, the initial memory target is 128-GB using 32 DIMMs. The maximum expansion
target is 256 GB with 64 DIMMs.
•
For 8-GB DIMMs, the initial memory target is 256-GB using 32 DIMMs. The maximum expansion
target is 512 GB with 64 DIMMs.
•
The maximum system memory capability is achieved with an initial memory target of 512 GB with
32 x 16-GB DIMMs and 1 TB with 64 x 16-GB DIMMs.
For an eight-processor configuration, the same example applies, but must be done for both processor
memory drawers, resulting a doubling of the memory capacity, and a 2 TB maximum with 128 x 16 GB
DIMMs.
Memory RAS
The server supports the following AMP modes:
•
Advanced ECC memory mode provides the greatest memory capacity for a given DIMM size and
provides x4 and x8 SDDC. This mode is the default option for this server. For more information, see
"Advanced ECC memory population guidelines (on page 46)."
•
Online Spare memory mode provides protection against persistent DRAM failure. Rank-sparing is
more efficient than DIMM-sparing since only a portion of a DIMM is set aside for memory protection.
For more information, see "Online Spare memory population guidelines (on page 46)."
•
Mirrored Memory mode provides the maximum protection against failed DIMMs. Uncorrectable
errors in the DIMMs of one memory cartridge are corrected by the DIMMs in the mirrored cartridge.
The two memory controllers of each processor form a mirrored pair using two memory cartridges.
For more information, see "Mirrored Memory population guidelines (on page 47)."
Hardware options installation
45
AMP modes are configured in RBSU. If the requested AMP mode is not supported by the installed DIMM
configuration, the server boots in Advanced ECC mode. For more information, see "HP ROM-Based Setup
Utility (on page 73)."
For the latest memory configuration information, see the QuickSpecs on the HP website
(http://www.hp.com/go/ProLiant).
Advanced ECC memory population guidelines
Advanced ECC memory is the default memory protection mode for the server. Up to 2-TB of active
memory using 16-GB DIMMs is supported in this AMP mode.
Advanced ECC can correct single-bit and multi-bit memory errors on a single x8 or two adjacent x4
DRAM devices.
The server provides notification when correctable error events have exceeded a pre-defined threshold
rate. When uncorrectable errors are detected using Advanced ECC, the server notifies the user and shuts
down the operating system.
Online Spare memory population guidelines
Online spare memory provides protection against persistent DRAM failure. It monitors DIMMs for
excessive correctable errors and copies the content of an unhealthy rank to an available spare rank in
advance of multi-bit or persistent single-bit failures that may result in uncorrectable faults. Rank-sparing is
more efficient than DIMM-sparing since only a portion of a DIMM is set aside for memory protection.
When Online Spare memory is enabled, the first ranks of DIMM pair, 1A/8A, are set aside as the
sparing ranks. Therefore, the available memory is reduced by the size of the first ranks of DIMM pair
1A/8A.
If a DIMM rank on either of the SMI buses exceeds its correctable ECC threshold, then the contents of the
failing DIMM ranks are copied to the spare DIMM ranks. Once the copy is complete, all memory
accesses to the previous failing DIMM ranks go to the spare DIMM ranks.
No performance penalty occurs for rank-sparing, other than the time it takes to copy the data from the
failing rank to the spare rank upon an error condition.
The following population rules apply to each memory cartridge. Begin with the DIMM installation
guidelines (on page 42) with these additional constraints:
•
All installed processors must contain a valid sparing configuration.
•
If installing mixed rank DIMMs in a cartridge, follow the mixed rank installation rules of the DIMM
installation guidelines (on page 42).
•
Rank sparing requires that the spare ranks of the DIMM pair 1A/8A be at least as large as any
other DIMM rank on the DDR3 channels of the cartridge. To determine the size of a single rank in a
DIMM, divide the total DIMM size by the number of ranks.
For example, the rank size of a dual-rank 2-GB DIMM is 1 GB and the rank size of a dual-rank 4-GB
DIMM is 2 GB. Therefore, it is possible to support rank sparing with mixed DIMM pair sizes in the
cartridge if the 1A/8A pair is populated with the 4-GB DIMMs and the other pairs are populated
with either the identical 4-GB or 2-GB DIMMs (pairs C and D are not required to be populated). In
this case, the 2-GB rank size of the 4-GB DIMMs in the 1A/8A pair is equal to or greater than the
rank size of the other installed DIMMs.
Hardware options installation
46
However, the server cannot support DIMM sparing in this example if the 2-GB DIMMs are populated
in the 1A/8A pair locations and the 4-GB DIMMs are populated in any of the remaining DIMM pair
locations. This is because it violates the rule requiring that the spare rank size of DIMM pair 1A/8A
(1 GB) be equal to or larger than the single rank size of the other DIMM pair locations, since the
rank size of a 4-GB DIMM in pairs B, C, or D would be larger (2 GB) than the spare rank size of the
2-GB DIMM pair in 1A/8A (1 GB).
Mirrored Memory population guidelines
Errors that are not corrected by ECC or SDDC cannot be corrected by Online Spare memory. By
providing added redundancy in the memory sub-system, Mirrored Memory provides the greatest
protection against memory failure beyond ECC, SDDC, and Online Spare memory.
In Mirrored Memory mode, each Lockstep DIMM pair of a memory controller (of a memory cartridge
connected to a processor) has a mirrored DIMM pair on the other memory cartridge of the sibling
processor in the same QPI island.
Upon detecting an uncorrectable memory error from a DIMM pair of a memory cartridge, the processor
avoids a system crash by reading the mirrored DIMM pairs from the other memory cartridge. In this case,
the system management routine disables the failed DIMM. Further memory reads and writes will only
occur on the mirrored DIMM pairs.
The exceptions to Mirrored Memory mode are the following:
•
In Mirrored Memory mode, half of the memory is allocated to memory protection.
•
The available memory bandwidth is reduced by up to 50% in this mode.
•
Mirrored Memory mode, Online Spare mode, Hemisphere mode, and interleaving cannot be
enabled simultaneously.
To configure memory for Mirrored Memory mode, observe these additional constraints:
•
For the server to support Mirrored Memory, all processors must have a valid mirroring configuration.
•
The minimum allowable configuration is two memory cartridges per processor.
•
Both memory cartridges for each processor must be populated with the same DIMM configurations.
•
Although this configuration requirement is the same for Hemisphere mode and Mirrored Memory
mode, only one of the two modes can be enabled at a given time.
•
Both of the CPU sockets on the same QPI island must be loaded with identical memory.

Battery-backed write cache module
The HP BBWC protects against hard boot, power, controller, and system board failures. The server
supports the following battery-backed options:
•
256-MB cache module (standard)
•
512-MB cache module (optional)
Hardware options installation
63
The BBWC consists of two parts: a battery pack and a storage cache module.
Along with the cache module, the battery pack provides transportable data protection, increases overall
controller performance, and maintains any cached data for up to 72 hours after the server loses power.
The NiMH batteries in the battery pack are continuously recharged through a trickle-charging process
whenever the system power is on.
CAUTION: To prevent a server malfunction or damage to the equipment, do not add or
remove the battery pack while an array capacity expansion, RAID level migration, or stripe
size migration is in progress.
CAUTION: After the server is powered down, wait 15 seconds and then check the amber LED
before unplugging the cable from the cache module. If the amber LED blinks after 15
seconds, do not remove the cable from the cache module. The cache module is backing up
data, and data is lost if the cable is detached.
IMPORTANT: The battery pack might have a low charge when installed. In this case, a POST
error message is displayed when the server is powered up, indicating that the battery pack is
temporarily disabled. No action is necessary on your part. The internal circuitry automatically
recharges the batteries and enables the battery pack. This process might take up to four
hours. During this time, the cache module functions properly, but without the performance
advantage of the battery pack.
To install the component:
1.
Close all applications, and power down the server (on page 26). This procedure flushes all data
from the cache.
2.

sections:
1.
Installing the Trusted Platform Module board (on page 68).
2.
Retaining the recovery key/password (on page 68).
3.
Enabling the Trusted Platform Module (on page 69).
Enabling the TPM requires accessing the ROM-Based Setup Utility (RBSU) ("HP ROM-Based Setup
Utility" on page 73). For more information about RBSU, see the HP website
(http://www.hp.com/support/smartstart/documentation).
TPM installation requires the use of drive encryption technology, such as the Microsoft® Windows®
BitLocker™ Drive Encryption feature. For more information on BitLocker™, see the Microsoft website
(http://www.microsoft.com).
CAUTION: Always observe the guidelines in this document. Failure to follow these guidelines
can cause hardware damage or halt data access.
When installing or replacing a TPM, observe the following guidelines:
•
Do not remove an installed TPM. Once installed, the TPM becomes a permanent part of the system
board.
•
When installing or replacing hardware, HP service providers cannot enable the TPM or the
encryption technology. For security reasons, only the customer can enable these features.
Hardware options installation
67
•
When returning a system board for service replacement, do not remove the TPM from the system
board. When requested, HP Service provides a TPM with the spare system board.
•
Any attempt to remove an installed TPM from the system board breaks or disfigures the TPM security
rivet. Upon locating a broken or disfigured rivet on an installed TPM, administrators should consider
the system compromised and take appropriate measures to ensure the integrity of the system data.
•
When using BitLocker™, always retain the recovery key/password. The recovery key/password is
required to enter Recovery Mode after BitLocker™ detects a possible compromise of system integrity.
•
HP is not liable for blocked data access caused by improper TPM use. For operating instructions, see
the encryption technology feature documentation provided by the operating system.
Retaining the recovery key/password
The recovery key/password is generated during BitLocker™ setup, and can be saved and printed after
BitLocker™ is enabled. When using BitLocker™, always retain the recovery key/password. The recovery
key/password is required to enter Recovery Mode after BitLocker™ detects a possible compromise of
system integrity.
To help ensure maximum security, observe the following guidelines when retaining the recovery
key/password:
•
Always store the recovery key/password in multiple locations.
•
Always store copies of the recovery key/password away from the server.
•
Do not save the recovery key/password on the encrypted hard drive.

Management tools
Automatic Server Recovery
ASR is a feature that causes the system to restart when a catastrophic operating system error occurs, such
as a blue screen, ABEND, or panic. A system fail-safe timer, the ASR timer, starts when the System
Management driver, also known as the Health Driver, is loaded. When the operating system is
functioning properly, the system periodically resets the timer. However, when the operating system fails,
the timer expires and restarts the server.
ASR increases server availability by restarting the server within a specified time after a system hang or
shutdown. At the same time, the HP SIM console notifies you by sending a message to a designated
pager number that ASR has restarted the system. You can disable ASR from the HP SIM console or
through RBSU.
ROMPaq utility
The ROMPaq utility enables you to upgrade the system firmware (BIOS). To upgrade the firmware, insert
a ROMPaq USB Key into an available USB port and boot the system. In addition to ROMPaq, Online

Electrostatic discharge
Preventing electrostatic discharge
To prevent damaging the system, be aware of the precautions you need to follow when setting up the
system or handling parts. A discharge of static electricity from a finger or other conductor may damage
system boards or other static-sensitive devices. This type of damage may reduce the life expectancy of the
device.
To prevent electrostatic damage:
•
Avoid hand contact by transporting and storing products in static-safe containers.
•
Keep electrostatic-sensitive parts in their containers until they arrive at static-free workstations.
•
Place parts on a grounded surface before removing them from their containers.
•
Avoid touching pins, leads, or circuitry.
•
Always be properly grounded when touching a static-sensitive component or assembly.
Grounding methods to prevent electrostatic
discharge
Several methods are used for grounding. Use one or more of the following methods when handling or
installing electrostatic-sensitive parts:
•
Use a wrist strap connected by a ground cord to a grounded workstation or computer chassis. Wrist
straps are flexible straps with a minimum of 1 megohm ±10 percent resistance in the ground cords.
To provide proper ground, wear the strap snug against the skin.
•
Use heel straps, toe straps, or boot straps at standing workstations. Wear the straps on both feet
when standing on conductive floors or dissipating floor mats.
•
Use conductive field service tools.
•
Use a portable field service kit with a folding static-dissipating work mat.
If you do not have any of the suggested equipment for proper grounding, have an authorized reseller
install the part.
For more information on static electricity or assistance with product installation, contact an authorized
reseller.

*To ensure the server has sufficient power during normal operation, a server configured with eight
populated CPU sockets or a detected high power GPU requires high line (200 - 240 V) ac server
configuration. As a precaution, if these configurations are detected on a low line (100 - 127 V) ac
configured server the server will halt at Power-On Self-Test with a "Low line (100-120 VAC) power
delivery is not sufficient for this configuration. High line (200-240 VAC) delivery is required to operate the
system in its current configuration" message and only boot to RBSU.
At POST, the server automatically detects whether the power supplies are connected to high-line power or
low-line power. If the server is configured with eight populated CPU sockets or a detected high power
GPU, the system will halt if it detects that the server is plugged into low-line power. This occurs by design
because systems configured eight processors, and/ or high power graphics cards, with a large amount of
memory, hard drives, or other options might require more power than can be provided by low-line power.
POST halts this low-line configuration as a precaution against the server having insufficient power during
operation.
If a you wish to operate a server in this configuration when utilizing low-line power, the power supply
solution should be verified as sufficient using the HP Power Advisor
(http://www.hp.com/go/hppoweradvisor). If the power solution is not deemed sufficient, the server may
not have sufficient power to operate normally. If the solution is deemed sufficient, a ROM-Based Setup
Utility option, outlined below, can be used to allow the system to operate in this configuration.
If the HP Power Advisor has determined that the server can be reliably powered at low-line power in this
configuration, perform the following steps to override the Power Supply Requirements setting in ROMBased Setup Utility (RBSU):
1.
When the server halts, access RBSU.
2.
Select "Advanced Options".
3.
Scroll down to "Power Requirements Override" and choose to enable it.
4.
Exit RBSU,which will reboot the server and should bypass the message on the subsequent boot.

Customer Self Repair
HP products are designed with many Customer Self Repair (CSR) parts to minimize repair time and allow
for greater flexibility in performing defective parts replacement. If during the diagnosis period HP (or HP
service providers or service partners) identifies that the repair can be accomplished by the use of a CSR
part, HP will ship that part directly to you for replacement. There are two categories of CSR parts:
•
Mandatory—Parts for which customer self repair is mandatory. If you request HP to replace these
parts, you will be charged for the travel and labor costs of this service.
Technical support
114
•
Optional—Parts for which customer self repair is optional. These parts are also designed for
customer self repair. If, however, you require that HP replace them for you, there may or may not be
additional charges, depending on the type of warranty service designated for your product.
NOTE: Some HP parts are not designed for customer self repair. In order to satisfy the customer warranty,
HP requires that an authorized service provider replace the part. These parts are identified as "No" in the
Illustrated Parts Catalog.
Based on availability and where geography permits, CSR parts will be shipped for next business day
delivery. Same day or four-hour delivery may be offered at an additional charge where geography
permits. If assistance is required, you can call the HP Technical Support Center and a technician will help
you over the telephone. HP specifies in the materials shipped with a replacement CSR part whether a
defective part must be returned to HP. In cases where it is required to return the defective part to HP, you
must ship the defective part back to HP within a defined period of time, normally five (5) business days.
The defective part must be returned with the associated documentation in the provided shipping material.
Failure to return the defective part may result in HP billing you for the replacement. With a customer self
repair, HP will pay all shipping and part return costs and determine the courier/carrier to be used.
For more information about HP's Customer Self Repair program, contact your local service provider. For
the North American program, refer to the HP website (http://www.hp.com/go/selfrepair).
Réparation par le client (CSR)
Les produits HP comportent de nombreuses pièces CSR (Customer Self Repair = réparation par le client)
afin de minimiser les délais de réparation et faciliter le remplacement des pièces défectueuses. Si pendant
la période de diagnostic, HP (ou ses partenaires ou mainteneurs agréés) détermine que la réparation peut
être effectuée à l'aide d'une pièce CSR, HP vous l'envoie directement. Il existe deux catégories de pièces
CSR:
Obligatoire - Pièces pour lesquelles la réparation par le client est obligatoire. Si vous demandez à HP de
remplacer ces pièces, les coûts de déplacement et main d'œuvre du service vous seront facturés.
Facultatif - Pièces pour lesquelles la réparation par le client est facultative. Ces pièces sont également
conçues pour permettre au client d'effectuer lui-même la réparation. Toutefois, si vous demandez à HP de
remplacer ces pièces, l'intervention peut ou non vous être facturée, selon le type de garantie applicable à
votre produit.
REMARQUE: Certaines pièces HP ne sont pas conçues pour permettre au client d'effectuer lui-même la
réparation. Pour que la garantie puisse s'appliquer, HP exige que le remplacement de la pièce soit
effectué par un Mainteneur Agréé. Ces pièces sont identifiées par la mention "Non" dans le Catalogue
illustré.
Les pièces CSR sont livrées le jour ouvré suivant, dans la limite des stocks disponibles et selon votre
situation géographique. Si votre situation géographique le permet et que vous demandez une livraison le

Riparazione da parte del cliente
Per abbreviare i tempi di riparazione e garantire una maggiore flessibilità nella sostituzione di parti
difettose, i prodotti HP sono realizzati con numerosi componenti che possono essere riparati direttamente
dal cliente (CSR, Customer Self Repair). Se in fase di diagnostica HP (o un centro di servizi o di
assistenza HP) identifica il guasto come riparabile mediante un ricambio CSR, HP lo spedirà direttamente
al cliente per la sostituzione. Vi sono due categorie di parti CSR:
Obbligatorie – Parti che devono essere necessariamente riparate dal cliente. Se il cliente ne affida la
riparazione ad HP, deve sostenere le spese di spedizione e di manodopera per il servizio.
Opzionali – Parti la cui riparazione da parte del cliente è facoltativa. Si tratta comunque di componenti
progettati per questo scopo. Se tuttavia il cliente ne richiede la sostituzione ad HP, potrebbe dover
sostenere spese addizionali a seconda del tipo di garanzia previsto per il prodotto.
NOTA: alcuni componenti HP non sono progettati per la riparazione da parte del cliente. Per rispettare
la garanzia, HP richiede che queste parti siano sostituite da un centro di assistenza autorizzato. Tali parti
sono identificate da un "No" nel Catalogo illustrato dei componenti.
In base alla disponibilità e alla località geografica, le parti CSR vengono spedite con consegna entro il
giorno lavorativo seguente. La consegna nel giorno stesso o entro quattro ore è offerta con un
supplemento di costo solo in alcune zone. In caso di necessità si può richiedere l'assistenza telefonica di
un addetto del centro di supporto tecnico HP. Nel materiale fornito con una parte di ricambio CSR, HP
specifica se il cliente deve restituire dei componenti. Qualora sia richiesta la resa ad HP del componente
difettoso, lo si deve spedire ad HP entro un determinato periodo di tempo, generalmente cinque (5) giorni
lavorativi. Il componente difettoso deve essere restituito con la documentazione associata nell'imballo di
spedizione fornito. La mancata restituzione del componente può comportare la fatturazione del ricambio
da parte di HP. Nel caso di riparazione da parte del cliente, HP sostiene tutte le spese di spedizione e
resa e sceglie il corriere/vettore da utilizzare.
Per ulteriori informazioni sul programma CSR di HP contattare il centro di assistenza di zona. Per il
programma in Nord America fare riferimento al sito Web HP (http://www.hp.com/go/selfrepair).
Customer Self Repair
HP Produkte enthalten viele CSR-Teile (Customer Self Repair), um Reparaturzeiten zu minimieren und
höhere Flexibilität beim Austausch defekter Bauteile zu ermöglichen. Wenn HP (oder ein HP
Servicepartner) bei der Diagnose feststellt, dass das Produkt mithilfe eines CSR-Teils repariert werden
kann, sendet Ihnen HP dieses Bauteil zum Austausch direkt zu. CSR-Teile werden in zwei Kategorien
unterteilt:
Zwingend – Teile, für die das Customer Self Repair-Verfahren zwingend vorgegeben ist. Wenn Sie den
Austausch dieser Teile von HP vornehmen lassen, werden Ihnen die Anfahrt- und Arbeitskosten für diesen
Service berechnet.
Optional – Teile, für die das Customer Self Repair-Verfahren optional ist. Diese Teile sind auch für
Customer Self Repair ausgelegt. Wenn Sie jedoch den Austausch dieser Teile von HP vornehmen lassen
möchten, können bei diesem Service je nach den für Ihr Produkt vorgesehenen Garantiebedingungen
zusätzliche Kosten anfallen.
Technical support
116
HINWEIS: Einige Teile sind nicht für Customer Self Repair ausgelegt. Um den Garantieanspruch des
Kunden zu erfüllen, muss das Teil von einem HP Servicepartner ersetzt werden. Im illustrierten Teilekatalog
sind diese Teile mit „No“ bzw. „Nein“ gekennzeichnet.
CSR-Teile werden abhängig von der Verfügbarkeit und vom Lieferziel am folgenden Geschäftstag
geliefert. Für bestimmte Standorte ist eine Lieferung am selben Tag oder innerhalb von vier Stunden gegen
einen Aufpreis verfügbar. Wenn Sie Hilfe benötigen, können Sie das HP technische Support Center
anrufen und sich von einem Mitarbeiter per Telefon helfen lassen. Den Materialien, die mit einem CSRErsatzteil geliefert werden, können Sie entnehmen, ob das defekte Teil an HP zurückgeschickt werden
muss. Wenn es erforderlich ist, das defekte Teil an HP zurückzuschicken, müssen Sie dies innerhalb eines
vorgegebenen Zeitraums tun, in der Regel innerhalb von fünf (5) Geschäftstagen. Das defekte Teil muss
mit der zugehörigen Dokumentation in der Verpackung zurückgeschickt werden, die im Lieferumfang
enthalten ist. Wenn Sie das defekte Teil nicht zurückschicken, kann HP Ihnen das Ersatzteil in Rechnung
stellen. Im Falle von Customer Self Repair kommt HP für alle Kosten für die Lieferung und Rücksendung auf
und bestimmt den Kurier-/Frachtdienst.
Weitere Informationen über das HP Customer Self Repair Programm erhalten Sie von Ihrem Servicepartner
vor Ort. Informationen über das CSR-Programm in Nordamerika finden Sie auf der HP Website unter
(http://www.hp.com/go/selfrepair).
Reparaciones del propio cliente
Los productos de HP incluyen muchos componentes que el propio usuario puede reemplazar (Customer
Self Repair, CSR) para minimizar el tiempo de reparación y ofrecer una mayor flexibilidad a la hora de
realizar sustituciones de componentes defectuosos. Si, durante la fase de diagnóstico, HP (o los
proveedores o socios de servicio de HP) identifica que una reparación puede llevarse a cabo mediante el
uso de un componente CSR, HP le enviará dicho componente directamente para que realice su
sustitución. Los componentes CSR se clasifican en dos categorías:
•
Obligatorio: componentes para los que la reparación por parte del usuario es obligatoria. Si solicita
a HP que realice la sustitución de estos componentes, tendrá que hacerse cargo de los gastos de
desplazamiento y de mano de obra de dicho servicio.
•
Opcional: componentes para los que la reparación por parte del usuario es opcional. Estos
componentes también están diseñados para que puedan ser reparados por el usuario. Sin embargo,
si precisa que HP realice su sustitución, puede o no conllevar costes adicionales, dependiendo del
tipo de servicio de garantía correspondiente al producto.
NOTA: Algunos componentes no están diseñados para que puedan ser reparados por el usuario. Para
que el usuario haga valer su garantía, HP pone como condición que un proveedor de servicios
autorizado realice la sustitución de estos componentes. Dichos componentes se identifican con la palabra
"No" en el catálogo ilustrado de componentes.
Según la disponibilidad y la situación geográfica, los componentes CSR se enviarán para que lleguen a
su destino al siguiente día laborable. Si la situación geográfica lo permite, se puede solicitar la entrega
en el mismo día o en cuatro horas con un coste adicional. Si precisa asistencia técnica, puede llamar al
Centro de asistencia técnica de HP y recibirá ayuda telefónica por parte de un técnico. Con el envío de
materiales para la sustitución de componentes CSR, HP especificará si los componentes defectuosos
deberán devolverse a HP. En aquellos casos en los que sea necesario devolver algún componente a HP,
deberá hacerlo en el periodo de tiempo especificado, normalmente cinco días laborables. Los
componentes defectuosos deberán devolverse con toda la documentación relacionada y con el embalaje
de envío. Si no enviara el componente defectuoso requerido, HP podrá cobrarle por el de sustitución. En

el caso de todas sustituciones que lleve a cabo el cliente, HP se hará cargo de todos los gastos de envío
y devolución de componentes y escogerá la empresa de transporte que se utilice para dicho servicio.

Customer Self Repair
Veel onderdelen in HP producten zijn door de klant zelf te repareren, waardoor de reparatieduur tot een
minimum beperkt kan blijven en de flexibiliteit in het vervangen van defecte onderdelen groter is. Deze
onderdelen worden CSR-onderdelen (Customer Self Repair) genoemd. Als HP (of een HP Service Partner)
bij de diagnose vaststelt dat de reparatie kan worden uitgevoerd met een CSR-onderdeel, verzendt HP
dat onderdeel rechtstreeks naar u, zodat u het defecte onderdeel daarmee kunt vervangen. Er zijn twee
categorieën CSR-onderdelen:
Verplicht: Onderdelen waarvoor reparatie door de klant verplicht is. Als u HP verzoekt deze onderdelen
voor u te vervangen, worden u voor deze service reiskosten en arbeidsloon in rekening gebracht.
Optioneel: Onderdelen waarvoor reparatie door de klant optioneel is. Ook deze onderdelen zijn
ontworpen voor reparatie door de klant. Als u echter HP verzoekt deze onderdelen voor u te vervangen,
kunnen daarvoor extra kosten in rekening worden gebracht, afhankelijk van het type garantieservice voor
het product.
OPMERKING: Sommige HP onderdelen zijn niet ontwikkeld voor reparatie door de klant. In verband met
de garantievoorwaarden moet het onderdeel door een geautoriseerde Service Partner worden vervangen.
Deze onderdelen worden in de geïllustreerde onderdelencatalogus aangemerkt met "Nee".
Afhankelijk van de leverbaarheid en de locatie worden CSR-onderdelen verzonden voor levering op de
eerstvolgende werkdag. Levering op dezelfde dag of binnen vier uur kan tegen meerkosten worden
aangeboden, indien dit mogelijk is gezien de locatie. Indien assistentie gewenst is, belt u een HP Service
Partner om via de telefoon technische ondersteuning te ontvangen. HP vermeldt in de documentatie bij het
vervangende CSR-onderdeel of het defecte onderdeel aan HP moet worden geretourneerd. Als het defecte
onderdeel aan HP moet worden teruggezonden, moet u het defecte onderdeel binnen een bepaalde
periode, gewoonlijk vijf (5) werkdagen, retourneren aan HP. Het defecte onderdeel moet met de
bijbehorende documentatie worden geretourneerd in het meegeleverde verpakkingsmateriaal. Als u het
defecte onderdeel niet terugzendt, kan HP u voor het vervangende onderdeel kosten in rekening brengen.
Bij reparatie door de klant betaalt HP alle verzendkosten voor het vervangende en geretourneerde
onderdeel en kiest HP zelf welke koerier/transportonderneming hiervoor wordt gebruikt.
Neem contact op met een Service Partner voor meer informatie over het Customer Self Repair programma
van HP. Informatie over Service Partners vindt u op de HP website (http://www.hp.com/go/selfrepair).
Reparo feito pelo cliente
Os produtos da HP são projetados com muitas peças para reparo feito pelo cliente (CSR) de modo a
minimizar o tempo de reparo e permitir maior flexibilidade na substituição de peças com defeito. Se,
durante o período de diagnóstico, a HP (ou fornecedores/parceiros de serviço da HP) concluir que o
reparo pode ser efetuado pelo uso de uma peça CSR, a peça de reposição será enviada diretamente ao
cliente. Existem duas categorias de peças CSR:
Obrigatória – Peças cujo reparo feito pelo cliente é obrigatório. Se desejar que a HP substitua essas
peças, serão cobradas as despesas de transporte e mão-de-obra do serviço.
Technical support
118
Opcional – Peças cujo reparo feito pelo cliente é opcional. Essas peças também são projetadas para o
reparo feito pelo cliente. No entanto, se desejar que a HP as substitua, pode haver ou não a cobrança
de taxa adicional, dependendo do tipo de serviço de garantia destinado ao produto.
OBSERVAÇÃO: Algumas peças da HP não são projetadas para o reparo feito pelo cliente. A fim de
cumprir a garantia do cliente, a HP exige que um técnico autorizado substitua a peça. Essas peças estão
identificadas com a marca "No" (Não), no catálogo de peças ilustrado.
Conforme a disponibilidade e o local geográfico, as peças CSR serão enviadas no primeiro dia útil após
o pedido. Onde as condições geográficas permitirem, a entrega no mesmo dia ou em quatro horas pode
ser feita mediante uma taxa adicional. Se precisar de auxílio, entre em contato com o Centro de suporte
técnico da HP para que um técnico o ajude por telefone. A HP especifica nos materiais fornecidos com a
peça CSR de reposição se a peça com defeito deve ser devolvida à HP. Nos casos em que isso for
necessário, é preciso enviar a peça com defeito à HP dentro do período determinado, normalmente
cinco (5) dias úteis. A peça com defeito deve ser enviada com a documentação correspondente no
material de transporte fornecido. Caso não o faça, a HP poderá cobrar a reposição. Para as peças de
reparo feito pelo cliente, a HP paga todas as despesas de transporte e de devolução da peça e
determina a transportadora/serviço postal a ser utilizado.
Para obter mais informações sobre o programa de reparo feito pelo cliente da HP, entre em contato com
o fornecedor de serviços local. Para o programa norte-americano, visite o site da HP
